My guess is that it's probably in some kind of "banned" state.
I've encountered it before, here's an example of an account that exists but is also in some kind of banned state: https://github.com/ainslee21 https://github.com/ainslee21
This account was made using TOR, which caused it to get into that state, his was probably banned for violating TOS regarding that archival stuff.

- preciousoo 3y agohmm i hadn't thought of a ban scenario. A little google led me here https://stackoverflow.com/a/66105692/3875151 https://stackoverflow.com/a/66105692/3875151, it seems like the user will live on as long as github continues to shadow ban them. Now I wonder what their involvement with the archive.is team is, the nixos folk seem really pissed off by his removal. Edit I guess the law was involved somehow. Still doesn't answer why they're logged into archive.is, and how archive.is is able to save their account state, even though github 'disappeared' them: https://web.archive.org/web/20210116151808/https://twitter.com/grhmc/status/1350461787313999872 https://web.archive.org/web/20210116151808/https://twitter.c... https://discourse.nixos.org/t/how-was-this-treewide-pr-performed/11174/14 https://discourse.nixos.org/t/how-was-this-treewide-pr-perfo...
